Mayhem in the Karaoke Room

leave a comment »

From 11pm to 5am, I karaoked with a group of friends in Shibuya. I highly, highly recommend trying this if you ever come to Japan. It’s a really fun experience. I usually karaoke for about two hours but it’s a nice challenge to try and do it for six whole hours. I took the challenge — and I conquered it!

Hydrate yourself! Nomihodai karaoke, or all you can drink, during the weeknight cost us 980 yen. Thats about ten dollars for six hours of karaoke plus all the Melon soda you can handle. For alcohol nomihodi, its 1980 yen, or twenty bucks per person. -- this however is only offered during the weekend at the particular karaoke place we went to

Duets are always fun and encouraged

Please feel free to bust a move

And finally, group participation is the key to a successful night of karaoke
